Use Bins, Not Bags!

When disposing of recyclables, New Brunswick residents must use bins instead of bags. But why?

The City of New Brunswick does not allow for pickup of recyclable items in bags. The disposal of recyclables in bins is better for the environment and for the sanitation workers tasked with picking them up.
